Askeladd believes his strategies for Canute's ascendancy have worked, however he is horrified when Sweyn also announces his intention to subdue Wales in the coming spring because he believes they are sowing the seeds of rebellion. Meanwhile, the badly beaten Thorfin is thrown in jail after creating a disturbance in the street. Leif Erikson visits Thorfinn in jail, and promises to return him to Iceland and then onto the warm and fertile Vinland. Back at the Imperial Council, Floki tells Sweyn of Askeladd's reaction to the announced attack on Wales which he believes shows a weakness for the Welsh. Askeladd vainly tries to think of a plan to thwart the king and confesses to Thorkell that his mother was Welsh, but swears him to secrecy. Askeladd is then called before the king, and wonders why his luck always deserts him at the eleventh hour. | ||||||

|
While Askeladd receives his reward for saving Prince Canute, he daringly questions King Sweyn's order to subjugate his own homeland of Wales. Askeladd justifies his statement by saying that the poor mountainous country of Wales is not worth the cost to conquer, and offers to broker a peace instead. Surprisingly, Sweyn accepts Askeladd's counsel, but then forces him to choose between Wales or Canute – if he chooses Wales, he must deliver the head of Canute. Meanwhile, Leif Erikson almost convinces the badly beaten Thorfinn to sail away with him, but the youth returns to the Imperial Council. Sweyn's offer proves too much for Askeladd who openly insults the king and denounces him. He reveals that his real name is Lucius Artorius Castus, and claims to be the legitimate heir to rule Britannia. Floki tries to save the King, but Askeladd beheads His Majesty before anyone can move and then fights alone against the Danish soldiers. Prince Canute realizes that Askeladd is playacting to protect him, but Thorkell reminds the prince that Askeladd is his man, so Canute steps forward and kills Askeladd with a stab to the heart. Thorfinn arrives only to have Askeladd die in his arms. Distraught at missing his last chance to duel with Askeladd and finally avenge his father, Thorfinn attacks and cuts Prince Canute in distress and despair, but Prince Canute takes charge and claims command of the Viking army and the rule of England. Thorfinn is dragged away, and as he drops his knife in the chaos, his erstwhile journey flashes in the blade's reflection. The episode ends with shots of several previously unseen characters in various locations. | ||||||
